  35. Oral Medications for Type 2 Diabetes: Biguanides

  36. Oral Medications for Type 2 Diabetes: Insulin Sensitizers

  37. Human Gut Hormones Brain promotes satiety and reduction of appetite Liverreduces glucose production Stomachslows emptying Alpha cellblocks glucagon secretion Beta cell stimulates insulin secretion

  38. Diabetes = 50% Less Gut Hormone Protect what you do have Inject Synthetic Gut Hormone Byetta Victoza Bydureon • Januvia • Onglyza • Tradjenta • Nesina

  39. 5. New Diabetes Medications that make you feel “fuller” • IncretinMimetics • Exenatide (Byetta) • Liraglutide (Victoza) • DPP-4 Inhibitor • Januvia (sitagliptin) • Onglyza (saxagliptin) • Amylinomimetics • Pramlintide (Symlin)

  45. Physiologic Insulin Secretion: 24-Hour Profile 50 Insulin (µU/mL) Meal Insulin 25 Basal Insulin 0 Breakfast Lunch Dinner 150 Meal Glucose 100 Glucose (mg/dL) 50 Basal Glucose 0 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A.M. P.M. Timeof Day

  46. Insulin Action Categories • Bolus: lowers after meal glucose levels • Rapid Acting • Aspart, Lispro, Glulisine • Short Acting • Regular • Basal: controls glucose between meals, hs • Intermediate • NPH • Long Acting • Detemir (Levemir) • Glargine (Lantus)
